Dove Enigma UA bombed, preventing completion of its voyage in time for the man it was named for.

I find this basically impossible to believe. Megaships aren't common, and UA bombers need a lot of cargo and a specific target. It's always purposeful. One need only google the name to find out what's going on.

Also, and important to note, this shocks even me, and I"m used to trolls. I don't see how fdev could've foreseen such a complete lack of humanity from people.

HI! Welcome to the Internet, is this your first day?

Sorry if anybody is offended but are you genuniely suggesting that FDev dedicate coding time to effectively change the game mechanics for one person? Grow up.

Travel light and travel fast. There's enough Cmdrs, speed is of the essence.

When I was doing he guide runs back in the first 2 expansion rounds, I took the Neutron Highway out there PSR J1752-2806 is the closest to the bubble, then there's a gap but you can hop your way there quick and easy.

I do 1 stop at Sacaqawea halfway to repair my FSD, then shoot on to the end.

You could use https://www.spansh.co.uk/plotter/ to help, set the efficiency to 80% and blast away :D

50-60% is actually faster. Needs manual fuel-planning later on though.
 
The last one is the one that's a problem.

You mean the bleach comment?

I would have suggested something far more toxic. ;)

The guy's got nothing to loose at this point. You tend to loose all desire to coddle insensitive when you are dying.

You would suggest I drink something more toxic than bleach, because I responded in a civil manner to someone?

I'm just saying that the guy is obviously not in any mood to be poked with sticks. If I was in his situation and facing all this B S during what was supposed to be a dignified event, I would have most definitely suggested something more toxic than bleach.

Sue me!

That make you kind of a bad person, doesn't it?

I didn't want to leave this thread without first saying how much I admire everyone that is dropping what they are doing and rushing out to help out in this event! That is indeed admirable! And for every jerky comment I have read here, there have been six that were inspiring!

Unfortunately, I am unable to engage with the game until tonight, but I am going to follow suit and try myself to make a run out there, despite never having been anywhere near that region before.

Good luck everyone!

And hang in there Dove E! Far more folks understand and support you than those who don't!
 
You generally don't feel the need to pull punches while engaging with when you are dying!

Hey man, take a minute and calm down. This is a game and treat it as such. Even the forum is a game.

In fact life becomes much easier if you treat it as such too.

As for the drink bleach comment it's not cool but likely something he regrets and proof that everyone is human.

For the record before you go on the attack you should know that I know a little about living with conditions that kill. Medication keeps me alive 28 days at a time. My life expectancy is measured by the prescription I receive monthly and I've come to accept that at some point this cycle will be interrupted. It's only a matter of time. I've reconciled that and find now that it feeds my humour more than my anger.

If Cmdr Dovenest is aware of all of this then I hope they appreciate the Elite community for what it really is.

Guys, whats done is done, take Bongos suggestion. Have a 5'er


Slinging insults (me includes) isn't going to fix it. Lets have some respect for the person for who this was all for after all.

Meet up take a big group photo, maybe mail a few around, sign them and send it to him. Its going to feel pretty good knowing people had your back


If you want to help, do so. If you don't.. don't.


There's no point debating the situation now.

Woooow. Way to take the high road. All of your ivory-tower morality that you've been slinging through this whole thread are completely undermined by suggesting that someone should KILL THEMSELVES for replying in a civil and logical way. GG o7!

You missed the point entirely!

I was saying that if I was on my death bed, and being engaged in a way I thought inappropriate, my suggested fluid would not have been bleach!

Spare me the faux outrage. The term is a figure of speech! It basically means, you are out of line in every conceivable way possible. That was Dove E's call to make. I am not in his skin, and I don't know what his current state of mind is. Do you?

He is obviously VERY upset by the UA Bombing thing. You gonna actually start attempting to second guess his motivation?

My advice.. Don't even go there.

As for the figure of speech... If the recipient is stupid enough to take the suggestion literally, then that is their problem.
